Does this make me selfish?

Question

My SO works at 2 am and has to get up around 1 five days a week. When he gets home, I know he's tired so I let him take a nap. But is it selfish of me to wake him up out of his sleep after an hr or two? 😕 when he's not awake I feel lonely and almost like I want to cry lol. It really isn't that serious but I know these pregnancy hormones can contribute to it. Am I selfish for this?

Answer

My partner has similar hours, wakes at 1:30 for work at 3. If you have ever tried to do hours like that, I promise you would be absolutely exhausted. He needs his sleep and you waking him up is selfish, I'm sorry but sleep patterns like that are the absolutely the worst thing for your body and he needs his sleep. I completely understand how annoying it can be when they're finally home from work and all you want is to spend time with them but they're too tired. Try distracting yourself, going for a walk or reading a book.

Answer

Let him sleep.  Find a show or pick up a hobby.

Answer

You need to be doing other things if you're so bored. 
36w 4D pregnant I have two school age kids. My husband works a regular hour job 8-5. Someimtes later due to his events. Yes I miss him out kids miss him but we give him time to sleep in. 
But it goes both ways. I haven't been feeling well I woke him up to get the kids ready for school this week because I wanted to sleep in. He did no questions asked.

Answer

Do you work? If so... Try sleeping for only an hour or 2 then waking up to do it all over again. Not fun. I work night shift 7p-7a and the rest of the world doesn't seem to understand. Please let him sleep.

Answer

If it doesnt bug him, dont worry about it. But if it does, maybe try to cut back on waking him up lol
